CAPETOWN, September 2. Cetewayo is captured. Information was received that the King was concealed ih a forest m the vicinity of the Black Umvolosi and unablq to ride or walk. The dragoons surrounded Cetewayo. on the 23rd August, and the King's followers surrendered. They have arrived at the Camp Ulundi ; those of the followers Avho attempted to escape were killed. Cetawayo was sent to Maritzburg, and thence to Capetown. Peace is now regarded as certain, and a new Government was immediately appointed. Sir Garnet Wolesley has gone to the Transvaal, to receive the submission of Secocaeni. It is probable that the peace of Northern Transvaal will be secured by this step, and it is expected that the Boers will acquiesce m the annexation. Another of Cotawayo's brothers has surrendered with an immense number of cattle and guns. Active operations are about to be made to reduce Moirisis stronghold m TraDSvaal.
